Chapte 1032 Ms. Watkins, a new gift, would you like to accept it?
Jane had paid the painting, but she only could pick up in three months because it would be exhibited in several other cities. After the exhibitions, there would be a double-check and re-verification of the painting orders, and then they would be shipped worldwide.
Leaving the gallery, it was Jane pushing Anthony.
After all, Jane was now Anthony's "caretaker", and she had to do everything necessary.
"Why didn't you argue just now?" Anthony asked Jane, who was behind him, while looking ahead.
"What?"
Anthony, in a bad mood, only said two words. "The bracelet."
Jane glanced at her right wrist and chuckled.
"You gave me that bracelet on the cruise. At that time, you were indeed a soon-to-be-married man, and Aurora was your fiancée. I thought the child in Aurora's belly was yours," Jane said. "From this timeline, what they said wasn't wrong."
"Jane Watkins!"
Anthony suddenly raised his voice. It startled the bodyguard beside him, who only dared to quietly open the car door.
Jane walked around the wheelchair to stand in front of Anthony, squatting down to look him .
The limited edition Cartier bracelet on her right hand sparkled in the sunlight, with Jane's name engraved inside.
"You actually ordered this bracelet in advance and had it sent to the cruise ship, didn't you?" Otherwise, Jane's name wouldn't be engraved on the inside of the bracelet.
This was something Jane discovered by chance later.
Jane who was squatting, was slightly shorter than Anthony.
Anthony looked down at Jane, his eyes calm, without any embarrassment or eagerness to explain now that his little secret had been discovered.
"Anthony, I accepted this bracelet on the cruise because I thought it was a coincidence. I, Jane Watkins, also can afford a bracelet worth tens of thousands of dollars. If I come across a limited edition I like, I'd buy it. I wasn't wearing any jewelry at the time, because it wasn't appropriate for such occasions."
Jane felt the sunlight was a bit harsh. She blinked but it didn't relieve the soreness in her eyes, so she had to cover her eyes with her fingers. The golden bracelet flashed under Anthony's gaze, as if asserting its presence.
"Anthony, you think you're not wrong, and you've explained everything you needed to. But I don't think I'm being unreasonable. Regardless of whether your engagement to Aurora was your doing, or whether you were planning to end it all along, the fact is that you two were indeed engaged for a period, and I was seen as the woman who broke up your family."
The wind was a bit chilly.
Anthony's heart felt like it was being gouged out. He wanted to adjust Jane's shawl on her shoulders, but his fingers twitched and he ultimately didn't move.
"Is that what you think too? Jane, I've told you that you've been the only one in my heart from the beginning to the end." Aurora was just a passerby. In Anthony's eyes, Aurora was no different from those women who coveted his power, status, and wealth.
"Yes," Jane said.
The news of Jane and Anthony appearing together at the gallery quickly spread within their circle, along with their display of affection.
It was said that Mr. Clark, despite being seriously injured, came in a wheelchair to support Jane and taunt Madeline and Alexandra.
It was said that Mr. Clark spent a fortune just to make Jane smile.
It was said that Mr. Clark, cold as stone, begged Jane to personally push his wheelchair.
Various rumors became the hottest topic overnight.
When the news reached Jane, she was confused.
'Who is seriously injured? Sitting in a wheelchair means seriously injured? What about those lying in the ICU?
'And Anthony spended a fortune? That is my own card!
'As for I pushed the wheelchair for Anthony, that's basic courtesy even between ordinary friends, okay?' Jane thought.
Jane thought those people were ridiculous. ' Why not focus on making money instead of paying attention to my affairs all day?'
The day after returning from the gallery, Jane received a package from Clint and handed it to Anthony.
Because of the argument at the gallery, Jane didn't want to talk to Anthony.
"Open it. It's for you." Anthony didn't take it and continued drinking his soup.
The soup was a special tonic Jane had a nutritionist prepare for Anthony. She hadn't spent a penny of the $7,600 Clint gave her.
Jane gave Anthony a suspicious look. She hadn't asked Clint to send anything.
The package was wrapped particularly tightly and neatly, looking like something valuable.
When the package was opened, the Cartier logo on the gift box came into view.
Jane couldn't help but give Anthony another curious look while he continued drinking his soup, seemingly unconcerned about what was in the box or her reaction.
When she opened the gift box, inside was a bracelet.
It looked very similar to the golden bracelet Jane wore on her right wrist yesterday, but with slight differences in detail.
This was another Cartier bracelet, not a limited edition, but produced in small quantities and long sold out. It wasn't impossible to buy, but it would cost several times more and require sufficient status.
Jane instinctively looked at the inside and indeed found an engraving, identical to the previous one.
"What do you mean?" Jane didn't take the bracelet but could already guess it was Anthony's doing.
Anthony glanced at Jane's empty right wrist now and said, "Jane, this one, I'm giving to you as a single man."
Because of the unpleasantness yesterday, Jane had taken off the previous bracelet and returned it to Anthony when she returned to the mansion, not caring how he planned to deal with the bracelet worth tens of thousands of dollars.
That bracelet, even with the engraving, was still valuable and highly sought after.
"Ms. Watkins, would you like to accept this new gift?" Anthony asked patiently.
Seeing Jane about to speak, Anthony added, "If you miss out on this one, your jewelry box will never see another bracelet from this series."
This bracelet and the previous one were from the same series, which only had these two designs. The designer was inspired by the Gemini constellation, which meant that there would be no more bracelets in this series.
Jane's refusal was on the tip of her tongue, yet she couldn't bring herself to say it. Her eyes were fixed on the bracelet, unable to look away, with Anthony's words echoing in her mind, "I'm giving this to you as a single man".
Anthony was trying to please Jane. He no longer sought her understanding but instead chose to understand and comfort her.
The wall that had stood in Jane's heart was cracked by this bracelet that was flown in overnight.
Anthony put down his spoon and leisurely stared at Jane, noticing her hesitation. He sezied the moment and struck while the iron was hot .
He said, "Jane, there's no reason to be mad at me and take it out on yourself, right?"
